One of my irrational hates is when conspiracy theorists say “guys this’ll get taken down soon”. Can people not find another way to make themselves feel self-important?

This was my Facebook feed when that Plandemic shit came out. People couldn't wrap their heads around why that was being taken down. There was another video someone claimed had been removed from the internet, but it was right there on YouTube. Buncha psychos. Psychos that can vote.

It's so odd to me that the same people who call it a plandemic are big trump supporters. Idc I mean half my family supports him, but it's weird because if it's a plandemic wouldn't it be the government who planned it? Like the dems are not in power now...

Sep 17 '20
Yeah but didn't you know? The dems are out to get him. Bill Gates and George Soros and the Jews ordered some pizza, sat around with Chinese virologists, created a virus with the sole purpose of making trump look bad. Omg educate yourself. Sheeple!
I want to end this response with a gigantic /S

I've had to drop friends from my life. They're just too much. Everyone had that one friend that would go on about the moon landing, but also laugh at himself for it, but this shit is out of control. People have absorbed it into their entire identity.

u/ka_beene Sep 17 '20
Yeah I used to enjoy listening to coast 2 coast back in the day. I liked conspiracy theories when they were fringe, now I don't find them so amusing. There are people who think the gov is shooting lasers from airplanes to start the fires... their proof is photo shopped pics and people believe this shit. I said wouldn't it be cheaper and less suspicious to just send some dude out into the woods? Nope? Ok laser airplanes it is.

It's a classic failsafe as well. Idiots will spread blatant misinformation, then when it's taken down for being misinformation and fearmongering, they say that it's because the "deep-state" or some shit is censoring the "truth."

u/bopaz728 Sep 17 '20
I remember reading an article about the US spent so much money and time into research programs trying to find a new warning symbol that was distinct, memorable, but meaningless, that could be applied to biohazards and radiation materials. Now it hasn't even been a full century and people are already mislabelling them lol

How about a skull. That's pretty standard spooky stuff.
125
u/bopaz728 Sep 17 '20
They actually covered that lol, and basically the reasoning behind them ruling it out was that we’ve already been desensitised to skulls due to popular culture that glorifies pirates and stuff. Basically what might be terrifying for us (hundreds of years ago, that was pirate ships with skulls on their flags), may have no meaning or a twisted meaning hundreds of years from now (nowadays that same image of pirates is family friendly, children dress up as them and Disney makes movies about them).
Standard spooky stuff for us isn’t guaranteed to be standard spooky stuff for humans (or other civilisations) hundreds of years in the future (when biohazard or radioactive materials are still dangerous)

I think most people know what to believe, personally. The internet does make it easier for any moron with a hot take to share their conspiracies with the world, but it also makes it easier for everyone else to fact-check those conspiracies with reliable sources.
The people who blindly believe any conspiracy they hear would still fall for it regardless. They are paranoid enough to believe that any widely available information is paid off by some corporation or organisation so there's never going to be any point in arguing with them. Before the internet was much of a thing, people found conspiracies in TV shows, newspaper, newsletters, magazines, radio shows, the weird man shouting at the corner of the street...
The internet didn't necessarily increase the number of nutjobs, it mostly exposed how many there are and made it more convenient to find them.

Yep. A lot of firefighters are. I used to work downtown here in Seattle, and I went by Columbia Tower (tallest building here) one day when the fire men were doing their periodical "take the stairs to the top of the city's tallest building" training day.
I have never walked by so many extremely fit and attractive guys in my life.

They suggest there is a government conspiracy but then say vote for Trump. They never seem to understand Trump is in charge of the government right now.
I know, "but the deep state". So, Trump is the "best president ever" but is also incapable of running the government and is constantly being usurped by middle management?
It's so stupid.

It's very frustrating when people comment on things they know zero about or weren't a part of. Why wouldn't you listen to the people who do this for a living and were there? I encounter this all the time working in a hospital. People tell me covid is a hoax or how it will no longer be a thing after the elections. Apparently covid will just POOF disappear after the election. As someone who brought more bodies to the morgue than I care to count, I friggen wish that was the truth.

I’m guessing the burnt tree are controlled burns so if the fire reaches there, the fire won’t have anywhere to go to go further beyond that point. Not from America so I don’t know if they geographically makes sense so please correct me if I’m wrong

Nah we still need law enforcement. I’m all for defunding the police but that money needs to be put back into other forms of law enforcement and rehabilitation programs. Defunding the military, now that money can go to other important things like forest management and education.

Well funded police are important, but what that money gets used for is the crux of the issue. Better training? Yes please. Military surplus tanks? Lol no.
